Alonso can tell the story of a voluntary departure to someone else …

Fernando Alonso is a graduate of Abu Dhabi in the last races of his career. This has been at least officially perceived, while the world of formula has blazed in style. But the reality can be quite different. It is becoming increasingly noisy to say that Alonso wants to return to the right offer in 2020.

The current problem is only that 37 years old has not found a competitive cockpit. Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull did not want it, and McLaren did not have a car good enough to face the Spanish at least on the podium. The top three teams are so far ahead of the world that they will probably not make any changes this year.

That's why Alonso decided to give a little respite. Next weekend, the WEC super-sets, the 24 Hours of Dayton and the 500m of Indianapolis will be at the rendezvous, and it will map the situation in F1. There is a growing number of these points of view, and this is also felt by Alons himself. He admitted to testing the McLaren next year and piloted a simulator. If there was really a fire, why would it?

"It's a goodbye that he did not want at all," said the editor's insider of Formula Paddle and Motorsport-Total.com Christian Nimmervoll. "Let him say anything in all the interviews, the fact is that getting out of Formula 1 is difficult for him, and that was also demonstrated when the rider, when Alexander Wurza, director of GPDA, was more resigned that he did not want to admit it. "

"Alonso wanted to convince us that he was leaving of his own free will, and he did not fail to point out the negative development of Formula 1. For example, the top three teams have a long lead over Everyone and McLaren's cockpits are not the best riders, not even the slightest chance on the podium, I suppose if Alonso was sitting in Mercedes, Ferrari or Red Bull, it would be a hell of a shit. "

Nimmervoll he said that "a story of voluntary departure can tell Alonso to someone else". He understands that he is interested in the "Trojkoruna", which he still needs to triumph in the Indy 500, but that's only the "price of comfort that he found when it was clear that he did not want any of the best F1 teams because he left too much scorched land everywhere. "

The experienced editor recalled the 2016 FIA Gala, which followed a few moments after Nico Rosberg's unexpected end: "This Wolff could not get rid of Flavio Briatore's calls, saying that at one point given during the gala dinner, Wolff had given the phone Bernie Ecclestone will finally take Briatore. "

The same Briatore present on the Abu Dhabi launch station said that Alonso would return in 2020. The Italian, who won both titles with Fernando in 2005 and 2006, has also helped on the management page. "We will come back!" cited Nimmervoll Brian's last words, adding, "They just show how it was … Alonso is just fine because F1 did not want guys with whom he would like to ride."

We can assume that the top three teams will not want Alonso for a year. The chance of his return will depend on whether McLaren can improve enough or whether a team that wants to pay the price will be profitable. Maybe Renault.
